In this regard, first, the descriptive statistics value of the attitude scale scores towards the piano courses and success of correpetition course were calculated. Afterwards, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z test was applied in order to find out whether two total scores are appropriate to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient and to test the assumption of normality. The study is significant in terms of finding out the relationship between piano courses and correpetition courses, and its contribution to the studies which will be conducted in this area. As the findings of the study, it was found that the students have positive attitude towards piano courses.
